This building housed the offices of the Norwich Electric Light Company and was designed in 1913 by E Boardman architects. It has the Norwich City coat of arms above its door. In 1892 E Boardman and Son had already converted the adjacent Duke’s Palace Ironworks > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5824715 to a site where coal-fired boilers generated electricity that, by 1913, lit over 1750 street lamps around the city.
